Part 2/8:
At their core, mudras are symbolic hand gestures that hold the power to influence our pranic body – the energy body that interacts with our physical and mental states. Their significance lies in their ability to help balance our bodily elements: earth, water, fire, air, and space, which are essential for maintaining overall health and well-being. Each finger corresponds to these elements, with the thumb representing fire, the index finger air, the middle finger space, the ring finger earth, and the pinky water. When appropriately applied, mudras can restore balance and direct energies towards manifesting specific intentions or purposes.
